Hi,

I had this same problem today, “AP mode not supported” with the same TP-Link wifi adapter. After trying a couple of different drivers, I finally found one that allows you to use the AP mode: https://github.com/AIRCRACK-NG/RTL8188EUS

Just follow the instructions to install it. I did it on a Ubuntu 20.4 running on VirtualBox.

I hope it helps!

@jjimenezlopez Thankyou! Finally a driver that works for my TP-Link TL-WN725!

Yes with sudo, but I did not include all screenshots …
